I didn't realize where this was posted and just saw the photo as I was scrolling.
It kinda looked like some type of gore, glad it's just some weird food I didn't know about.
Wait, you've never had the most glorious preparation of pig entrails and cornmeal? You're seriously missing out. Corndogs are GOATed.
It is a corn dog: a hot dog on a stick, dipped in sweetened cornbread batter then baked or fried. I ate so many of these things as a kid.
Some parts of the world have never had or heard of cornbread. An even larger portion of the world doesn't know that it comes in both sweet and unsweet forms.
In some parts of the world you might be facing criminal charges or social ruducule for suggesting that a bread can be made with a batter.
Since you don't know them I'm guessing they're not available in your area so here's a recipe. I haven't tried it myself but it looks right.

What we call corn many places call maize. The cornmeal used for polenta should be a good substitute if that's easier for you to find.
As for measurements:
1 teaspoon= 5 ml.
3 teaspoons = 1 Tablespoon = 15 ml.
2 Tablespoons = 1 (liquid, ergo volume) ounce = 30 ml
2 ounces = ¼ cup = 60 ml
8 ounces = 1 cup = 240 ml
Now, with your scale, you can weigh out 240 ML water, and use that to determine which cup in your cupboard will be most useful. With dry ingredients, don't pack them down, just scoop it in, then scrape to level off the top with the back of a knife.
Nice, I need to try making them some time. One quick question, do you do anything with the excess mix?
At a glance, you should be able to add whatever batter you have left to a batch of corn bread/muffins.
You could make "Hush puppies" by just frying little spoonfuls of batter. Or coat something else like onion rings, maybe broccoli?
And from eyeballing the recipe I think you could use it to make cornbread by adding a few Tablespoons of melted butter and baking it in a greased pan.
